Mercenary 1:We cannot seem to make them work properly and the fool who mounted them is nowhere to be found.

Ezio:Then it is up to me to find him.

Mercenary 1:We do not want to waste your time.

Ezio:It is not any trouble. I have all the time in the world now.

Ezio waking the engineer

Ezio walked around the battlements of Monteriggioni, searching for the engineer, and found him sleeping on the walkway within a watch tower.

Ezio:Salve, Messere (Hello, Mister). We need you to fix the cannons on the battlements.

Engineer:Leave me be. I do not begin repairs before noon.

Ezio:Do you know what time it is?

Engineer:I make cannons, not clocks.

Ezio:If you are busy, someone else will fix them.

Engineer:Uno momento (One moment). No one else will touch my cannons.

The engineer got to his feet and began to walk back to the cannons with Ezio.

Engineer:Soldiers have no respect for artillery. They expect a gun to work like magic. You need to feel her out, give her a little encouragement. We are only equipped with simple cannons now, but I got hold of a design from Francia (France), a hand cannon, something called a Wrought Iron Murderer. Imagine, firing a cannon... from your hands. That is the future.

They arrived back at the cannons.

Engineer:What have you done?

Mercenary 1:We used them.

The engineer grabbed the mercenary by his clothes.

The engineer shouting at the mercenary

Engineer:They were not ready for firing! You could have gotten us all killed. Let me see.

Mercenary 2:His breath is more fatal than our cannons.

Engineer:Only when you two fools are shooting them. There. Try it. Aim at something to test the alignment.

When Ezio hit five target dummies, the Engineer spoke to him.

Engineer:Perfetto (Perfect). At least someone here knows how to shoot. Now for the other one.

Ezio:I must go.

Mercenary 1:Thanks for your help. If you hear the cannons tomorrow, do not worry, we will be practicing at dawn.
